Why dope?
A psychiatrist will attempt to answer that question here tomorrow at 11:15 a.m. in 133 Founders hall.
Dr. Simon Conrad, chief psychiatrist of the Los Angeles state mental hygiene clinic, will be one of the speakers at the SC delinquency control institute’s second annual alumni association refresher conference on the campus.
“The Juvenile Narcotics User as Seen by the Psychiatrist” will be the subject of his lecture.
The day-long conference will open at 8:30 a.m. with an hour’s registration of the nearly 150 men and women juvenile officers expected to attend. Lt. Harold Stock-bridge of the Los Angeles county sheriff’s department, president of the DCI alumni association, and Dan Pursuit, director of the institute, will conduct the conference. Albert Sydney Raubenheimer. SCs educational vice-president, will welcome the delegates.
Professor to Speak ,
Norris E. Class, professor of social work, will speak at 9:45 a.m. on “What’s New in Delinquency Control?” There will be a panel discussion at 10:30 on “What Are We Doing About Juvenile Drivers?” Participants will be Hugh Symington. Farmers Insurance group; Joseph Havenner, Automobile Club of Southern California; and John P. Kenney, associate professor of public administration at SC.
Certificates of appreciation from the SC School of Public Administration will be presented seven I men at a luncheon *n the University Methodist church by Dr. Hen- j ry Reining, professor of public administration at SC.
Van Alstyne strongly believes that there is a definite problem of racial discrimination at SC, that it is of vital concern to the student body, and that positive action should be taken to eliminate it.
“Is racial and religious discrimination at SC a paper-mache issue? A figment of the DT's vivid imagination? The mere stench of a dead horse? I know that it is none of these things, but too many people think that it is,” Van Alstyne said.
“If anyone really wants the facts and what can be done about discrimination, then this debate will give him just that; no emotion and no begging the question, but the real evidence on a vital problem,” he added.
Gonzales is basing his argument on the idea that discrimination is present in all phases of life throughout the country.
“Discrimination exists in every business contact where one transaction is made in favor of another because of friendship, similar religion, or culture. If discrimination exists in fraternities, legislation against such action would cause tremendous opposition from the fraternity system,” Gonzales claims.

PHIL MARANTZ
. . . calls off dance
Pjansfor All-U Dance at Class Brawl Tabled
Plans were shelved for the all-university dance to follow the frosh-soph brawl. Sophomore President Phil Marantz said.
A poll of many sorority and fraternity groups revealed lukewarm interest in the dance. One hundred twenty-five couples were needed to insure success of the dance, but less than half that amount expressed enthusiasm, Marantz said. '
Innovations
The brawl remains scheduled for Mar. 6 at the Dental field. Committees from freshman and sophomore councils are busy preparing for the clash.
Sophomore Fred Mitchell, brawl chairman, is introducing several innovations this year. He plans to have a public address system to keep spectators informed of scores and coming events. A schedule of events is being prepared to keep the afternoon's struggles running smoothly.
The brawl is held every spring, and is a follow-through of interclass struggles prevalent at most “ivv-covered” schools around the turn of the century.
Pie Eating
Some of the contests in which underclassmen will compete are tug-of-war, pie-eating, w’heelbar-row’ racing, stick-horse racing, three-legged racing, and hoop-rolling.
Spirits usually rise for the final ball, eight feet in diameter, from event, the push-ball battle. The object is to push a large rubber one side of the field to the other. This event is full of rough and tumble tactics and consequently limited to the male members of each class.
A perpetual trophy is awarded the winning class at the close of the brawl.
Vishinsky Smiles at Ike s Offer to Meet With Stalin
Russia’s Foreign Minister Andrei Y. Vishinsky yesterday called President Eisenhow’er’s conditional offer to meet Soviet Pre-mfer Josef Stalin either funny or historical.
Reporters couldn’t figure whether he meant it was a funny statement. or a historical statement, and the sly old Moscow mouthpiece didn’t bother to specify.
This diplomatic double-meaning came about when Vishinsky was shown a dispatch reporting Eisenhower’s conditional offer to meet Stalin half-way for talks.
Vishinsky smiled. In Russian, he
declared: “These conditions—if they are so—that’s an anecdote.” That was all he said. Aleksander A. Soldatov, a* Soviet delegation member who accompanies Vishinsky like a shadow. translated the grizzled Vish-insky’s remarks.
Did Vishinsky mean “anecdote” to mean “joke?” reporters asked.
Soldatov stolidly repeated the boss's word: “anecdote.”
“Anecdote,” in Russian as in English. can mean an amusing story. But careful linguists noted that it also can mean historical incident.
More Emphasis on Non-Political Side of UN Urged by Social Aide
by Roy Page
If the spotlight that is always turned on thc political side of the United Nations could more often be directed to the non-political side, the United Nations would be a lot more popular.
That is the opinion of Dr. Kath- | erine Kendall, former director of technical training for the UN, I who is on the SC campus this w’eek to assist in starting the new program erf graduate study for the degree of doctor of social work. Dr. Kendall will give an address on “Case Work in Europe" tomorrow at 10 a.m. in 206 Administration.
Dr. Kendall was associated with ^ he UN at the start of its social ork program from 1947 to 1950, ben it had taken over from TRA the problem of assisting e war devastated countries. She now educational secretary of p Council on Social Work Eduction.
“It is a marvel the impact the has bad t>n social welfare
development,” said Dr. Kendall.
“It has now resulted in a meeting of minds that never before was possible in order to study common problems. Not only in social welfare, but in health, education and other non-political fields, the UN has made great strides.
"These problems are a lot more common than we thought,” she said, “and the solutions that one country has found are often applicable to another country.” Asia is the part of the world that needs the most concentrated effort in social work, according to Dr. Kendall.
"Plain poverty is their main problem.” she said. “There is in Asia now, however, a trend of government taking more responsibility for the social well being of its people.”
Dr. Kendall said great progress in social w-elfare work ^as been made in Japan and India, but in China, because of political implications in the past few’ years, little is known.
I In Europe the principle of government responsibility toward its people is far advanced. Their broad social security programs are ahead of the United States, according to Dr. Kendall.
“Giving assistance in the form of experts in areas in which they are highly developed,” said Dr. Kendall, “is one of the main ways that countries assist the UN.”
“It is hard to draw’ the line which are under-developed or well developed European countries.” She indicated they differed in different fields, and that the fusing at the UN benefited them all.
“In general, the countries are cooperative with each other,” said Dr. Kendall.
Getting behind the Iron Curtain evidently affects the social work work progress of the UN as well as the political progress. Dr. Kendall said very little about Russian cooperation, except that Russia wotrid allow only persons from certain countries to enter her borders.
Trojan Chest Ticket Sales Start Monday
Committee members of the Trojan Chest drive organized j their ranks yesterday to prepare J for the money-raising campaign j which will be held during the : week of Apr. 6.
In an afternoon meeting, Chest Chairman Bill Rosensweig appointed several assistants, and announced that “the sky is the limit” for this year’s goal.
Edward Earle, Varsity show director, said that advance ticket sales for the show, which gives all proceeds to Trojan Chest, will begin Monday. He stated that he had several good ideas for pushing sales, but that he had not appointed a ticket chairman as yet.
Hope for Sellout “We hope to have a sellout for all four performances,” Earle said. “Tickets should go fast because we can guarantee an excellent show this year.”
Clinton A. Neyman, university chaplain and faculty adviser for the Trojan Chest, said that the committee members should utilize every available means to promote this drive.
Concerning fraternity collections, Neyman interjected, “It is ridiculous to say that fraternity boys cannot afford more than a dollar to give to underprivileged and hungry children.”
He also proposed that human-interest articles be written on the eastside children that go to Troy camp every summer “so that contributors can see just how much their money helps.”
Pledges Help
Dr. Alex Aloia, student activities adviser, also spoke at the meeting and pledged his help in the drive.
Disappointed at last year’s drive effort of less than $5000, he said, “There is no reason w’hy a school of this size cannot raise at least $10,000. It is the committee’s job to get the students out of this apathy that they are in.” Rosensweig named three people to the publicity committee which is under the leadership of Gary Kreutz. They are Margaret Christensen, w’ho will handle posters, Sam Shorr, off-campus publicity, and Roger Darbonne, newspaper publicity.
Future Teachers Fingerprinted For Credentials
University Police were on campus last week to fingerprint some 250 students. It Was the first time that fingerprints have ever been taken on campus.
Only students applying for teaching or administration credentials, however, were required to be fingerprinted.
The proce'dure at SC followed a state law which requires students applying for credentials in the School of Education to be fingerprinted.
Netherlander Will Discuss Benelux Pact
The Benelux union, an economic merger between the Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg, will be discussed by Jerome L. Heldring, director of the Netherlands Information service, tomorrow at 1:15 in 129 FH.
“This is the first . significant experiment in economic union to be made in western Europe,” said Ross N. Berkes, director of the School of International Relations.
Problems pertaining to the six-power Schuman plan for an iron and coal merger in Western Europe and the projected European Defense Community treaty, in which a European army is contemplated, will also be discussed.
The attitudes of small nations of Western Europe, such as Holland, and other aspects of the problems of Euorpean unity not well known in America will be presented by Dr. Heldring.
“Heldring is close to the problem and is regarded as an expert on the subject of inter-European relations,” Berkes said.
Heldring was born in Amsterdam and studied law at Leyden university. He has w’orked on scientific publications and was one of the news editors of the liberal paper, Nieuwe Rotterdam Cour-ant.
In 1949 he became a press officer for the Netherlands Information service, and in 1951 was appointed director of the organization.
World News Roundup
Lodge Says Russians Want War Continued
From the United Press
American Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge Jr. yesterday accused Russia of prolonging the Korean war deliberately and announced that the United States, therefore, sees “little point” in any new move to end it.
Except for Russia’s “active aid” to the Chinese and North Korean Communists, “the war in Korea would be over,” Lodge said in his first speech here since becoming the new Republican administration’s chief de-egate to the U.N.
“Failure to end the fighting in Korea is not due to any lack of cleverness with words here in the U.N. It is due to the frankly announced desire of the Communists to continue the war,” Lodge said. ♦ * *
The government yesterday scrapped price controls on cigarettes, candy, and everything in the housewife's market basket except coffee, bread and beer. It also lifted ceiling on copper, aluminum, some steel products and nuts and bolts.
Two big cigarette companies —American Tobacco Co. and R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Co.— immediately announced a penny a pack increase for Lucky Strikes, Camels, and other brands they make. Other manufacturers were considering similar action.

Gen. James A. Van Fleet returned home from the Far East yesterday with a warning to Americans that “if Korea is lost, Japan and the rest of Asia would follow’ suit, and the Pacific Ocean would become a Communist highway.”
But following a hero’s welcome by thousands of San Franciscans, the retiring U.N. battle commander refused to discuss with newme tactical discuss with newsmen, tactical effort in Korea,
He appeared still rankling from j what he previously had termed
i misquotations ot his statements in
Korea and Japan at the time he was relieved of command of the 8th Army.

The North Carolina Supreme Court yesterday voided a Negro sharecropper’s “assault by leer” conviction, ruling that whatever he thought when he ogled a young wrhite woman was no crime.
The decision freed Mack Ingram from further prosecution in the controversial case. At one point during his three trials in two years. Ingram faced as much as 15 years in prison—although it was never contended he actually touched his alleged victim.

Sen. Clinton IP. Anderson, backing federal control of tidelands, yesterday threatened a new Supreme Court fight over pending legislation to give coastal states title to the oil-bearing offshore lands.
The New Mexico Democrat said that if a state-ownership bill is passed by congress—as appears certain—the high court may be asked to declare it unconstitutional. He said it “might well be” that an “interior” state would make the challenge.

Reds Will Fall
If U S Unies Says Chaplain
by Murray Brown
Communism can be destroyed if America is united into one great Christian force.
That is how the Rev. W. Eric Walner, chaplain general of the Polish army in World War II, envisioned the role of the United States, which he believes is standing on the last step of her decision.
He told a Lutheran student center -audience last night that atomic, hydrogen, or bacteriological warfare will not guard America’s freedom, which is being challenged by the Soviet Union.
Strength in Faith "The strength of the United States is in the Christian faith and its principals,” the Rev. Mr. Walner believes.
“America needs a spiritual ‘earthquake’ to guard its personal liberty because Communism steps in where people are spiritually asleep.”
The Rev. Mr. Walner, who believes America has elected a strong man to make its important decisions, says Democracy’s fate is not only up to Eisenhower.
“The safety of freedom depends upon the resolution, coercion, and intelligence of all the people in the United States into Christianity. Christianity is the only source that gives man freedom.” The Rev. Mr. Walner believes Russia is afraid of America’s freedom.
“Many nations on the earth are looking up to the United States for leadership,” he said. “And that’s why we must promote Christianity.”
fanatical Religion According to the Rev. Mr. Walner, Communism has developed into a fanatical religion and no longer is an idolotry.
The Rev. Mr. Walner referred to a chapter in the “Gospel of the Kremlin,” as saying that if Russia can’t destroy Western civilization and particularly' the United States they must force America to ruin itself.
“Economically, Russia has not been able to destroy America, but the cold war is doing a lot of damage,” he believes.
No World Var III The Rev. Mr. Walner does not believe Russia will start a third world war because of the powerful underground movement at work against Communism.
“The underground forces are able to disintegrate entire armies,” he said.
“Poland, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, and Hungary are on America’s side. They are waiting for the United States’ signal.” According to Rev. Walner, many people are disappointed in America because it has shown weakness at the United Nations conferences.
“Russian newspapers have come out with Soviet triumphs,” he said.
Better Humanity
The Soviet Union has no desire to participate with the United States to develop a better humanity, he said.
Stalin is intent upon expanding the Communist empire everywhere he can, the Rev. Dr. Walner said.
“The Russians have even established a spy net all over the U.S.”.
The Rev. Mr. Walner said he was approached in Poland by a Communist officer to get Polish pastors to preach from their pulpits that Stalin is the savior of all mankind.
Impress Youth He believes Communists have succeeded in impressing this upon many of their youth as well as educating many people to their way of life.
"Stalin has instituted vicious controls to eliminate all vestiges of freedom,” he said.
The Rev. Mr. Walner believes there is only one hope to halt Communism.
“Evil may march a long way, but in the long run it can never be triumphant since Christ’s victory is on our side and God is behind us. The question is, are we ready to follow Him?”

— f by Charlie Barnett
Los Angeles county’s contract to pay SC $419,000 a year for services rendered by the School of Medicine to the County hospital will be held up until a court rules on its legality. The County Board of Supervisors voted 4-1 Tuesday to enter into the contract with SC, but its legality has been questioned
and a test case before-the California Supreme court is expected.
In a report to the supervisors. County Counsel Harold W. Kennedy said he believes the contract to be legal but since there has never been any legal precident set on a contract of this type he can not absolutely insure its legality. He recommended a test case to positively settle the question. Legal Points Kennedy listed the following points on which there is a question of legality:
1. Whether any part of the proposed payment by Los Angeles county would constitute a gift to the university in violation of the state constitution.
2. Whether the board of supervisors has the authority to make the proposed contract, although it is the common practice for large public hospitals to be affiliated with a private school of medicine.
3. Whether the civil service provisions of the county charter prevent the proposed contract since doctors on the teaching staff of the SC School of Medicine will be furnishing services in the county hospital even though they may not be civil service employees.
4. Whether the proposed contract would require unlawful corporate practice of medicine on behalf of the SC School of Medicine. It is the law in California that corporations may not engage in the practice of medicine. The proposed contract, however, will not require the university as such to render medical services.
Sign Here Action to put the question before the California Supreme court is expected to begin sometime next week when the contract comes before John Anson Ford, Board of Supervisors chairman for his signiture.
Ford plans to refuse to sign the contract. Then it is assumed that the other supervisors will ask the Supreme court to force Ford to sign. This is said to be the quickest way to bring the matter directly before the Supreme court.
Ford cast the dissenting vote Tuesday when the supervisors voted to enter the five-year contract compensating SC for medical care and teaching services provided the County hospital by the School of Medicine.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25—(UP) —Prof. Robert G. Davis of Smith college yesterday admitted to the House un-American Activities committee that he joined the Communist party in 1937 while teaching at Harvard.
Davis, balding and bespectacled English teacher at the Northampton, Mass., girls school, said he quit two years later.
He began his testimony after Chairman Harold H. Velde (R.-111.) said he could add “immeasurably" to the committee’s work.
Quit Party
Davis was the first witnes called as the committee opened a controversial investigation of Communist influences in the nation’s colleges.
He said he quit the Communist party when he found that members were blindly following Soviet policies and were “in a certain sense Soviet nationals.”
The hearing opened with members sharply split over possible “persecution” of professors who flirted briefly with communism during their youth.
Former Members Called
Velde alluded to that in his opening statement, saying it is “q<tute obvious” that it often is
necessary to call witnesses who no longer are members or the party.
“Such witnesses,” he said, “add immeasurably to the sum total of knowledge of the character, extent and objects of Communist activities.”
Velde reiterated that the committee is not investigating education and educational institutions as such, but is checking into "communists and Communist activities wherever it has substantial evidence of its existence.” •
Fought Communism
Davis testified that since his break in 1939 he has been fighting communism. Hc said he appeared before the committee—“an unpleasant duty”—as part of this fight.
Davis said that when he joined the party he was assigned to a “small group” comprised of only about six or seven members, including three persons "connected with Harvard” and some “townspeople.”
“Due to the character of the times,” Davis testified, “more teachers were coming into fhe party.”
Later the group, was made up "exclusively” of teachers at Harvard. "It increased.” he said, "but it never comDrised more than 15— I would say that was the maxi-» *

Reporters couldn’t figure whether he meant it was a funny statement. or a historical statement, and the sly old Moscow mouthpiece didn’t bother to specify.
This diplomatic double-meaning came about when Vishinsky was shown a dispatch reporting Eisenhower’s conditional offer to meet Stalin half-way for talks.
Vishinsky smiled. In Russian, he
declared: “These conditions—if they are so—that’s an anecdote.” That was all he said. Aleksander A. Soldatov, a* Soviet delegation member who accompanies Vishinsky like a shadow. translated the grizzled Vish-insky’s remarks.
Did Vishinsky mean “anecdote” to mean “joke?” reporters asked.
Soldatov stolidly repeated the boss's word: “anecdote.”
“Anecdote,” in Russian as in English. can mean an amusing story. But careful linguists noted that it also can mean historical incident.
More Emphasis on Non-Political Side of UN Urged by Social Aide
by Roy Page
If the spotlight that is always turned on thc political side of the United Nations could more often be directed to the non-political side, the United Nations would be a lot more popular.
That is the opinion of Dr. Kath- | erine Kendall, former director of technical training for the UN, I who is on the SC campus this w’eek to assist in starting the new program erf graduate study for the degree of doctor of social work. Dr. Kendall will give an address on “Case Work in Europe" tomorrow at 10 a.m. in 206 Administration.
Dr. Kendall was associated with ^ he UN at the start of its social ork program from 1947 to 1950, ben it had taken over from TRA the problem of assisting e war devastated countries. She now educational secretary of p Council on Social Work Eduction.
“It is a marvel the impact the has bad t>n social welfare
development,” said Dr. Kendall.
“It has now resulted in a meeting of minds that never before was possible in order to study common problems. Not only in social welfare, but in health, education and other non-political fields, the UN has made great strides.
"These problems are a lot more common than we thought,” she said, “and the solutions that one country has found are often applicable to another country.” Asia is the part of the world that needs the most concentrated effort in social work, according to Dr. Kendall.
"Plain poverty is their main problem.” she said. “There is in Asia now, however, a trend of government taking more responsibility for the social well being of its people.”
Dr. Kendall said great progress in social w-elfare work ^as been made in Japan and India, but in China, because of political implications in the past few’ years, little is known.
I In Europe the principle of government responsibility toward its people is far advanced. Their broad social security programs are ahead of the United States, according to Dr. Kendall.
“Giving assistance in the form of experts in areas in which they are highly developed,” said Dr. Kendall, “is one of the main ways that countries assist the UN.”
“It is hard to draw’ the line which are under-developed or well developed European countries.” She indicated they differed in different fields, and that the fusing at the UN benefited them all.
“In general, the countries are cooperative with each other,” said Dr. Kendall.
Getting behind the Iron Curtain evidently affects the social work work progress of the UN as well as the political progress. Dr. Kendall said very little about Russian cooperation, except that Russia wotrid allow only persons from certain countries to enter her borders.
Trojan Chest Ticket Sales Start Monday
Committee members of the Trojan Chest drive organized j their ranks yesterday to prepare J for the money-raising campaign j which will be held during the : week of Apr. 6.
In an afternoon meeting, Chest Chairman Bill Rosensweig appointed several assistants, and announced that “the sky is the limit” for this year’s goal.
Edward Earle, Varsity show director, said that advance ticket sales for the show, which gives all proceeds to Trojan Chest, will begin Monday. He stated that he had several good ideas for pushing sales, but that he had not appointed a ticket chairman as yet.
Hope for Sellout “We hope to have a sellout for all four performances,” Earle said. “Tickets should go fast because we can guarantee an excellent show this year.”
Clinton A. Neyman, university chaplain and faculty adviser for the Trojan Chest, said that the committee members should utilize every available means to promote this drive.
Concerning fraternity collections, Neyman interjected, “It is ridiculous to say that fraternity boys cannot afford more than a dollar to give to underprivileged and hungry children.”
He also proposed that human-interest articles be written on the eastside children that go to Troy camp every summer “so that contributors can see just how much their money helps.”
Pledges Help
Dr. Alex Aloia, student activities adviser, also spoke at the meeting and pledged his help in the drive.
Disappointed at last year’s drive effort of less than $5000, he said, “There is no reason w’hy a school of this size cannot raise at least $10,000. It is the committee’s job to get the students out of this apathy that they are in.” Rosensweig named three people to the publicity committee which is under the leadership of Gary Kreutz. They are Margaret Christensen, w’ho will handle posters, Sam Shorr, off-campus publicity, and Roger Darbonne, newspaper publicity.
Future Teachers Fingerprinted For Credentials
University Police were on campus last week to fingerprint some 250 students. It Was the first time that fingerprints have ever been taken on campus.

The proce'dure at SC followed a state law which requires students applying for credentials in the School of Education to be fingerprinted.

Lodge Says Russians Want War Continued
From the United Press
American Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge Jr. yesterday accused Russia of prolonging the Korean war deliberately and announced that the United States, therefore, sees “little point” in any new move to end it.
Except for Russia’s “active aid” to the Chinese and North Korean Communists, “the war in Korea would be over,” Lodge said in his first speech here since becoming the new Republican administration’s chief de-egate to the U.N.
“Failure to end the fighting in Korea is not due to any lack of cleverness with words here in the U.N. It is due to the frankly announced desire of the Communists to continue the war,” Lodge said. ♦ * *

Reds Will Fall
If U S Unies Says Chaplain
by Murray Brown
Communism can be destroyed if America is united into one great Christian force.
That is how the Rev. W. Eric Walner, chaplain general of the Polish army in World War II, envisioned the role of the United States, which he believes is standing on the last step of her decision.
He told a Lutheran student center -audience last night that atomic, hydrogen, or bacteriological warfare will not guard America’s freedom, which is being challenged by the Soviet Union.
Strength in Faith "The strength of the United States is in the Christian faith and its principals,” the Rev. Mr. Walner believes.
“America needs a spiritual ‘earthquake’ to guard its personal liberty because Communism steps in where people are spiritually asleep.”
The Rev. Mr. Walner, who believes America has elected a strong man to make its important decisions, says Democracy’s fate is not only up to Eisenhower.
“The safety of freedom depends upon the resolution, coercion, and intelligence of all the people in the United States into Christianity. Christianity is the only source that gives man freedom.” The Rev. Mr. Walner believes Russia is afraid of America’s freedom.
“Many nations on the earth are looking up to the United States for leadership,” he said. “And that’s why we must promote Christianity.”
fanatical Religion According to the Rev. Mr. Walner, Communism has developed into a fanatical religion and no longer is an idolotry.
The Rev. Mr. Walner referred to a chapter in the “Gospel of the Kremlin,” as saying that if Russia can’t destroy Western civilization and particularly' the United States they must force America to ruin itself.
“Economically, Russia has not been able to destroy America, but the cold war is doing a lot of damage,” he believes.
No World Var III The Rev. Mr. Walner does not believe Russia will start a third world war because of the powerful underground movement at work against Communism.
“The underground forces are able to disintegrate entire armies,” he said.
“Poland, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, and Hungary are on America’s side. They are waiting for the United States’ signal.” According to Rev. Walner, many people are disappointed in America because it has shown weakness at the United Nations conferences.
“Russian newspapers have come out with Soviet triumphs,” he said.
Better Humanity
The Soviet Union has no desire to participate with the United States to develop a better humanity, he said.
Stalin is intent upon expanding the Communist empire everywhere he can, the Rev. Dr. Walner said.
“The Russians have even established a spy net all over the U.S.”.
The Rev. Mr. Walner said he was approached in Poland by a Communist officer to get Polish pastors to preach from their pulpits that Stalin is the savior of all mankind.
Impress Youth He believes Communists have succeeded in impressing this upon many of their youth as well as educating many people to their way of life.
"Stalin has instituted vicious controls to eliminate all vestiges of freedom,” he said.
The Rev. Mr. Walner believes there is only one hope to halt Communism.
“Evil may march a long way, but in the long run it can never be triumphant since Christ’s victory is on our side and God is behind us. The question is, are we ready to follow Him?”

. . it’s about time
— f by Charlie Barnett
Los Angeles county’s contract to pay SC $419,000 a year for services rendered by the School of Medicine to the County hospital will be held up until a court rules on its legality. The County Board of Supervisors voted 4-1 Tuesday to enter into the contract with SC, but its legality has been questioned
and a test case before-the California Supreme court is expected.
In a report to the supervisors. County Counsel Harold W. Kennedy said he believes the contract to be legal but since there has never been any legal precident set on a contract of this type he can not absolutely insure its legality. He recommended a test case to positively settle the question. Legal Points Kennedy listed the following points on which there is a question of legality:
1. Whether any part of the proposed payment by Los Angeles county would constitute a gift to the university in violation of the state constitution.
2. Whether the board of supervisors has the authority to make the proposed contract, although it is the common practice for large public hospitals to be affiliated with a private school of medicine.
3. Whether the civil service provisions of the county charter prevent the proposed contract since doctors on the teaching staff of the SC School of Medicine will be furnishing services in the county hospital even though they may not be civil service employees.
4. Whether the proposed contract would require unlawful corporate practice of medicine on behalf of the SC School of Medicine. It is the law in California that corporations may not engage in the practice of medicine. The proposed contract, however, will not require the university as such to render medical services.
Sign Here Action to put the question before the California Supreme court is expected to begin sometime next week when the contract comes before John Anson Ford, Board of Supervisors chairman for his signiture.
Ford plans to refuse to sign the contract. Then it is assumed that the other supervisors will ask the Supreme court to force Ford to sign. This is said to be the quickest way to bring the matter directly before the Supreme court.
Ford cast the dissenting vote Tuesday when the supervisors voted to enter the five-year contract compensating SC for medical care and teaching services provided the County hospital by the School of Medicine.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25—(UP) —Prof. Robert G. Davis of Smith college yesterday admitted to the House un-American Activities committee that he joined the Communist party in 1937 while teaching at Harvard.
Davis, balding and bespectacled English teacher at the Northampton, Mass., girls school, said he quit two years later.
He began his testimony after Chairman Harold H. Velde (R.-111.) said he could add “immeasurably" to the committee’s work.
Quit Party
Davis was the first witnes called as the committee opened a controversial investigation of Communist influences in the nation’s colleges.
He said he quit the Communist party when he found that members were blindly following Soviet policies and were “in a certain sense Soviet nationals.”
The hearing opened with members sharply split over possible “persecution” of professors who flirted briefly with communism during their youth.
Former Members Called
Velde alluded to that in his opening statement, saying it is “q
